k, so everytime i either bring my laptop out of a sleep or boot it up i get one svchost process that within 30 seconds of booting up starts hogging about 90% of my CPU. i go in and kill the process and everything stops being so sluggish, if i dont my computer just locks up. what would cause this to do this? any ideas?

and see what's attached to that process..

 

Yeah......you don't want to get rid of those processes. They're pretty vital. If your CPU is being worked more than usualy (90% shouldn't be constant) then you likely have a problem.

I had the same situation and then I cleaned out the registry with ccleaner. My computer ran as if it was new afterwards. It's a free program...

 

i know its not a process you wanna kill, but it starts taking up soooo much cpu i cant do anything, my system freezes and i have to manually shut down and restart. if i kill it before it takes up all those resources im ok

 

Yeah, I had the same problem when I found my registry was jacked up.

 

Wow i never knew about this Reno.....repped :chuckles:

 

if whatever that process is loading up is halting everything, try putting procexp in the startup so that it hopefully loads up before this thing does so that you can track it.

or you can try ccleaner or something like it, like chris suggested, but you probably should find out exactly what's running.

btw, svchost is exactly what it says... it's a host for running programs/services, which is why i suggest you use procexp to look into it.

 

i just ran that ccleaner....cleared a gig from my system

yea yea...im in the process of using it

i have a different process explorer, but i will try this one and see if its any better

 

see ninja edit.. h:

 

I might use this to see why firefox sometimes goes to like 90% sometimes
